Can this be used for carrying an electric guitar?

BEST ANSWER:I would not put my guitar in this case. While it can “fit” my Les Paul Standard, the foam is not dense enough to properly protect the guitar. And the foam that would be remaining on the sides of the body would be far to thin to provide any travel protection.

Yeah I found this out the hard way while ordering a case too quickly. Wont fit what I need it to. But why the H&$L do they list the external dimensions in the product description? Literally and figuratively it's what's on the inside that counts right? I'll have to sell this off to some unsuspecting tele player or something. :P

Does Monoprice offer replacement foam? Or where would a person go to buy another's foam insert? (Great, sturdy case, but once you've plucked out the squares to fit one item, you'll need another sheet of perforated foam if you want to use it for something else.)

Bought this for a motorized slider set. Foam is relatively sturdy, though I'm putting some spray adhesive between the layers to lock everything in. Lid foam doesn't stay in very well, but spray adhesive and some double-sided tape will take care of that.

It's no Pelican, but its perfectly functional and works great. Sturdy and solid. A little stiff but I'm sure it will work itself in.

The only drawback is that I wish MP offered solid cit-to-fit foam option as well. I hate pick-n-pluck (of any sort - even Pelican) as it doesn't hold up with heavy items (like rifles). I did the "Plasti-dip spray" trick and it worked well, although the Plasti-dip shrinks the foam a bit. It works well for now, but I imagine getting solid foam and cutting it myself one day.

That's another drawback. Many foam vendors offer pre-cut inserts for name-brand cases and there are even online sites that will custom cut shapes from your template. I wish they supported this case as well. It doesn't perfectly match any of the Pelican, SKB, or Plano cases as far as I can tell.

I had a soft bag to hold all of my lightstands and umbrellas, but the zipper failed. Twice. So I started looking for a hard case to protect my stuff.

This one fits the bill. Wheels, positive latching, very sturdy. I noticed that the interior of the case has molded-in notches that look like they're designed for a divider system, but there doesn't seem to be anything of the sort of sale (yet?).

I took this case on a multi flight, 17 date band tour over the course of 21 days. During this time, it traveled thousands of miles in planes and our van. The case survived surly baggage handlers, stage crews and drunken band mates without problem.

Not only did it protect my mono synth and pedal board, it came in at exactly the weight limit for air travel when fully loaded. Besides that it made my life easier knowing that it would get between stages in working condition with ease.

First things first, this case was provided to me by Monoprice free of charge for the purpose of writing this review.

With that out of the way, I use the Monoprice Waterproof Hardcase to store and transport an AR-15 rifle. The dimensions allow for the rifle to be stored along with several magazines, an optic and some assorted tools all with plenty of space leftover. have used several different rifle cases from all the major manufacturers, from the budget friendly options to the industry leading models. This case is right up there with the best. Upon first inspection the quality of this case is immediately apparent. The shell is hard and has almost zero flex. It has two sets of wheels and handles on three of the four sides. Inside, the top foam is standard egg crate pattern and the lower piece is precut for easy plucking. I actually prefer the pluckable foam over the solid type, I can never cut the shapes cleanly so the plucking foam is much easier to use. The foam itself is quite solid, enough so to protect what is inside.

The case has an IP67 rating, which is also the industry standard for protecting valuable equipment. This is no budget case the overall construction is rock solid and far superior to the low cost offer on the market. It is waterproof and features a manual pressure valve, has multiple clasps and a eyelet to attach a lock. The eyelet is not reinforced however, though usually this doesn’t make a big difference. The handles are also solidly made and attached. It’s a nice perk to have an extra set of wheels and handle, allowing a little bit more flexibility in terms of transportation. As mentioned before the hinges are high quality and the clasps are very solid. There is nothing loose or flimsy about this case.

Though not drastically cheaper than the competition, this case is a rock solid contender, definitely worth the asking price. It meets or exceeds expectation in all important aspects the construction is solid, the materials are quality and the presentation is top notch. Aside from being well made the case is just nice, it looks good and you feel safe storing your equipment inside. With hard cases you get what you pay for, and in this case you get a little more.
